THE COST OF THE DRILL.
treasurer Bradley Expects an Assess
ment for over SIC, 200 Will be Made.

Mr.. Charles s. Bradley, the treasurer Of the
National Drill Committee, In talking Of the nnan-
ces OF the drill this morning with q STAR reporter
said: "An the bills have not yet come In, but as
far as we can estimate we think that the expenses
OF the drill will amount to about 1000. Owing
to the fact that there were not entries enough
some OF the prizes offered were not awarded. The
committee has paid s2O,45O in prizes, not
including OF course the prize of
81 600, awarded to the National Rifles,
the payment OF which Is withheld owing to the
protest filed. The receipts have amounted to
about $4,000, leaving balance over and above
the amount already paid in by subscribers to be
mace good by assessment upon the subscribers OF
between ten and twelve thousand dollars. The
receipts, owing to various causes, have been much
less than the committee had reason to expect.
The weather, OF course, had great deal to do
with 1t, and then some Of the railroads did not
issue excursion tickets as IL was expected they
would do. This had the effect OF keeping great
many people away from Washington, especially
those living in the West 1t is the Intention of the
committee TO prepare q statement OF the receipts
and expenditures OF the drill which they will fur
nish to each subscriber. At preSentit is Impossible
to give exact figures, but as near as it can be
ascerta1ned the above figures represent approx
mately the financial status OF the drill"
The executive committee held q meeting last
night in the drill grounds, but transacted little
business, except to arrange for an exhibition OF
the pyrorama tonight.
ut Is said, began STAR reporter, addressing
Commissioner Wheatley to-day, "that the pro-
motors of the drill will lose $4,000"
(Which will all be paid" said Commissioner

continued. .and don't think the public are in

Commissioner Wheatley Is very much averse to
making any statement about the financial cut

which have been published are purely conjec-

done.
